Answer:

80 degrees

Explanation:

The 132-deg angle is an exterior angle of the left triangle.

The 52-deg angle is a remote interior angle to the exterior angle above.

Angle VZY is also a remote interior angle to the exterior angle above.

Theorem:

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles.

We use the theorem above to find the measure of angle VZY.

52 + m<VZY = 132

m<VZY = 80

Angles WZX and VZY are vertical angles, so they are congruent.

m<WZX = m<VZY = 80

Answer: 80 degrees

Answer:

m∠WZX = 80°

Explanation:

Angle V is a flat angle, so it measures 180°.

Find ∠YVZ (blue angle): 180° - 132° = 48°

Triangle VYZ is 180° (all triangles are 180°).

Find ∠YZV (red angle): 180° - 52° - 48° = 80°

Since you know ∠YZV, you can find ∠WZX (green angle).

∠YZV and ∠WZX are opposite angles, so they are congruent.

Therefore, ∠WZX = 80°

Hope this helps :)
